[[Crunchbase Accelerator Equity]]
[[LinkedIn Crawler (Python)]]
 
==Getting Data==
To get the founder UUIDs from each accelerator, input the accelerator UUID (or name all lowercase if its one work) into this link:
https://api.crunchbase.com/v3.1/organizations/ + UUID of organization + ?relationships=founders&user_key=662e263576fe3e4ea5991edfbcfb9883
 
==Code==
===scrapefounders.py===
This code lives in Z:\crunchbase2\scrapefounders.py
 
This program takes Accelerators and UUIDs.txt found in a Z:\crunchbase2\Accelerators and UUIDs.txt and extracts the accelerator UUIDs and loads the information of each founder from the crunchbase API using the link above. It then takes the information given by the API and returns a dictionary of accelerator UUIDs as keys and founder UUIDs as values.
==Updated LinkedIn Crawler==
Use the selenium computer on Rice Visitor wifi.
After logging in a couple of times, LinkedIn will get suspicious and ask you to confirm that you are not a robot using reCaptcha. I got around this by delaying the program by 3 minutes so that I had time to complete the reCaptcha test. However, sometimes reCaptcha loses connection and it forces you to continue the tests which can be frustrating. When this happens, I disconnect and reconnect from the wifi as well as switch between the test accounts.
